N.J. man sentenced for gun trafficking

[WhiteFeather]

If NJ would have enacted a one gun a month law this criminal would have been stopped from selling these guns illegally, that common sense law would have at least forced this felon to sell only one gun a month because he would not want to break any of NJ strict firearm laws.

After all we all know, IF there is a law on the books the criminals will always obey them - NOT.

Why wasn't the law book thrown at this repeat criminal?

N.J. man sentenced for gun trafficking

ATLANTA - A New Jersey man has been sentenced to 12 years and seven months in federal prison for heading a gun-trafficking ring that purchased weapons in Georgia and sold them in New Jersey.

Authorities said 13 guns sold by 34-year-old Clovis Reeves and his co-conspirators wound up at crime scenes, including a homicide.

Reeves, of Newark, was convicted May 1 of conspiracy to illegally purchase firearms, aiding and abetting the falsification of firearms records, and being a felon in possession of firearms.

Five of the seven others indicted with Reeves testified at his four-day trial. Among them were Georgia residents who admitted acting as "straw purchasers" in 2005 to buy dozens of guns carried to Reeves and later sold.
